Really good Stay Near King's Cross

The location is AMAZING for early train departures. The staff was helpful, taking my luggage to my room. I received a late checkout and a room upgrade. The price reflects the quality and service, especially for such a convenient location.
The room size felt a bit small. I expected more space.
